Memory Installation
Desktop DIMM Installation
Note: Never apply pressure or handle the memory module on or around the
Integrated Circuit (IC)! Always handle memory with both hands positioned at
the upper-most corners of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
- Disconnect the AC power cord from the back of your desktop PC.
- Prior to handling the DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) or DIMMs, always touch an unpainted and grounded metal object or use a grounded antistatic wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- If necessary, remove pre-existing DIMMs by pressing down on the lock/ejector tabs. The tabs are located at both ends of the memory socket.
- Align the memory module key(s) along with the memory socket key(s) for proper installation.
- Press the memory into the socket until the tabs snap into place and secure the memory module.
- Replace the computer cover and plug in the AC power cord.
Laptop SO-DIMM Installation
Note: Never apply pressure or handle the memory module on or around the
Integrated Circuit (IC)! Always handle memory with both hands positioned at
the upper-most corners of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Ensure you are
working in a static safe environment.
- Disconnect the DC power adapter from the laptop and remove the battery.
- Prior to handling the SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) or SO-DIMMs, always touch an unpainted and grounded metal object or use a grounded antistatic wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- If necessary, remove pre-existing SODIMMs by gently pulling the lock/ejector tabs (located on both sides of the memory socket) away from the memory module. The memory module will unlock and pop up 30 degrees for removal.
- Align the memory module key along with the memory socket key and insert the memory at a 30-degree angle.
- Rotate the memory downward until the lock/ejector tabs engage and click into place.
- Replace the computer cover and plug in the AC power cord.
